January 19, 2015 - kicker Blake Levin accepts
preferred walk-on offer"The preferred walk-on label means that Idaho’s coaches have
guaranteed the 5-foot-10, 185-pound, place-kicker from Santa Barbara
City College a roster spot in fall camp. Levin was an all-conference punter and
second-team all-conference kicker in his senior season at Cheyenne Central. He
signed with Northern State University and spent the 2013 campaign at
that NCAA Division II school in Aberdeen, South Dakota. He then transferred to the University of Wyoming
and walked on with the Cowboys last spring. Levin found too many
familiar faces in Laramie and set out to chart his own path.... That’s how Levin landed in Santa Barbara, where
he was 32 of 35 on extra-point attempts for the Vaqueros. He also hit 9
of 10 field goal attempts, with makes of 48, 47 and 45 yards. Levin missed two October games because of a right
quadriceps injury. He showed no ill effects from the injury, going 4
for 4 on field goals – including his 47-yarder – and 11 for 12 on extra
points after returning to the lineup." - Wyo Sports

August 4, 2014 - kicker Jordan BurkeCoach Paul Petrino on new kicker Jordan Burke: "Jordan Burke, some of the
old Vandals might remember Paul Burke, who was a great tight end here
when I was an assistant here. His son Jordan was a kicker at Mesa junior
college, and he’s come in here and he’s going to compete to be the PAT,
Field goal kicker and to kick off but if we had to play today Austin
would do both." - Lewiston Tribune May 8, 2014 - kicker/punter Austin RehkowRehkow says his first spring workouts could have gone a little better – at least a little healthier. 'I was struggling with a few nagging little injuries,' he said. 'It could have been better, but it was OK.' Still, he said, the Vandals showed marked improvement this spring.... 'I’m excited about next season – even after we took a big hit over the APR rate.' Just
hours after completing their final scrimmage, the Silver and Gold Game,
the Vandals were ruled ineligible for a 2014 bowl game because the
school had failed to meet the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate under former
coach Robb Akey. 'That’s frustrating, but I think we’re all
excited about playing in the Sun Belt Conference and getting the chance
to play against schools like Ole Miss and Florida State,' he said. 'When
I was in high school I’d watch teams like that play and to get the
chance to go there and play them now is great'.” - Spokesman-Review
